AEM user password violates password constraint

When we try to create a user in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM), then we receive below password violation error message. This message is not user friendly and because of that we keep struggling to set new password.

Here is the description of this exception; what does it means and what kind of password AEM is expecting from user.

ERROR javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: Password violates password constraint ((?=.*\d.*)(?=.*[a-z].*)(?=.*[A-Z].*)(?=.*[@#%\*\-+=~\[\]{}<>\?].*).{12,}).

Description:

Your password should be minimum 12 characters, and should have at least one block letter, one small letter, one digit and one special character.

1. One special character !@$%
2. One digit 0-9
3. One small and block letter a-z A-Z
4. Minimum characters 12

You may also face this issue while migrating the users and groups. Please refer this document for resolution. https://helpx.adobe.com/in/experience-manager/kb/OakConstraint0027-error-when-migrating-users-and-groups-in-AEM.html

We also face issue while creating the user using useradmin console of AEM and didn't put the right password which matches the above regex. We submit the form of user creation and didn,t see any error message, and then we thought user has been successfully created in the system. But when we search that newly created user then we didn't find that user in system. This is all because the password which we have set for user is not valid, hence system rejected that user.

How to enable/disable or change the constraint?

In AEM config manager we have a configuration which helps us to enable or disable this service and also change the password constraint(regex). Below is the screenshot and detail of available options.

Configuration name: Apache Jackrabbit Oak AuthorizableActionProvider

Authorizable Actions: PasswordValidationAction should checked to apply this constraint to AEM user's password.
Configure PasswordValidationAction/Password Constraint: A regular expression specifying the pattern that must be matched by a user's password.

 

 

How to create a new regex?

You may use any online tool to generate the regex pattern of password which you want to sent in the AEM users password policy and constraint. e.g. https://regex101.com/

किसी के बाप का हिंदुस्तान थोड़ी है

सभी का खून है शामिल यहां की मिट्टी में 

किसी के बाप का हिंदुस्तान थोड़ी है 

अगर खिलाफ है होने दो जान थोड़ी है

यह सब धुआं है कोई आसमान थोड़ी है 

लगेगी आग तो आएंगे घर कई ज़द में 

यहां पर सिर्फ हमारा मकान थोड़ी है 

मैं जानता हूं कि दुश्मन भी कम नहीं लेकिन 

हमारी तरह हथेली पर जान थोड़ी है

हमारे मुंह से जो निकले वही सदाकत है 

हमारे मुंह में तुम्हारी जबान थोड़ी है 

जो आज साहिबे मसनद हैं कल नहीं होंगे 

किराएदार हैं जाति मकान थोड़ी है 

सभी का खून है शामिल यहां की मिट्टी में 

किसी के बाप का हिंदुस्तान थोड़ी है

Failed to collect dependencies mule-core-ee:jar:3.8.4

Few times I faced this issue, while working with Mule 3.8.4. When I Googled I found people are talking about the Mulesoft Enterprise Edition access to download these dependencies for project, but I don't think we need nexus EE access to download these dependencies specially when we are working with Mule 3. Here the problem is something different and your POM might have some additional dependencies which is not available on public nexus repository and due to that this dependency is not getting resolved.

Failed to collect dependencies at com.mulesoft.muleesb:mule-core-ee:jar:3.8.4: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.mulesoft.muleesb:mule-core-ee:jar:3.8.4: Could not transfer artifact com.mulesoft.muleesb:mule-core-ee:pom:3.8.4 from/to Central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/): Failed to transfer file http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/mulesoft/muleesb/mule-core-ee/3.8.4/mule-core-ee-3.8.4.pom with status code 501

Resolution:

To resolve this in Mule 3 Anypoint studio, create a new fresh maven project and build it. If this newly created project successfully build then your other project where you are facing this issue will work. Match the project POM.xml file with new project pom and see the dependencies.

Example POM.xml file.
